A first approach in hydrologic analyses of stormwater runoff under both pre- and post-development conditions using EPA’s SWMM 5.0 modeling program ; Case study Sebes, Romania [articol]

Abstract

This paper will present some aspects of the influence that urban environment has on stormwater runoff, influence enhanced by changes in land use and land cover. This study sought to estimate the stormwater discharges at the urbanized catchment’s outlet using EPA’s SWMM 5.0 modeling program and compare them to the ones generated prior to urbanization. The design storms used are for a 1-, 5-hour events with return periods of 2, 10, and 20 years.
